================= HES POSTING ================= There was an article by R. Koppl on the origin of the term animal spirits in Journal of Economic Perspectives 5:3, 1991 [NOTE: This article was already mentioned in an earlier reply--RBE]. See also my reaction in Journal of Economic Perspectives 6:3, 1992. The Oxford English Dictionary also has a useful entry.
